I've started a new sculpture. A friend described something she had seen at a craft fair.

...There were crosses wrapped in some kind of wire, and they were hollow, filled with stones...(like the junk inside us!) Each one had a key or a nail, affixed on top....

And the wheels in my head started to spin...

What DO we bring to the cross?

We bring our moments, stopped in time-

a diagnosis, a death,

broken relationships,

words that cut as deep as broken glass,

abuses-- from any and everywhere,

false religious beliefs,

and so much more, some of which is plain ol' trash....

But before you wallow in despair from all these bad things,

We can bring it all to the cross.

Jesus invites us!
I learned it from a song-- ♪ ♫ "For His yoke is easy, and His burden is light.
He said, 'Come unto Me all ye that labor,
and I will give you sweet rest!'♫ ♪♪" (based on Matthew 11:30,31)
